A fair warning; Ethereum is not yet to be used in production. There's no
test-net and you aren't mining real blocks (just one which is the genesis block).

Ethereum Go is split up in several sub packages Please refer to each
2014-01-11 14:53:27 +00:00
individual package for more information.
2014-01-23 20:14:44 +00:00
1. [eth](https://github.com/ethereum/eth-go)
2. [ethchain](https://github.com/ethereum/ethchain-go)
2014-01-11 14:53:27 +00:00
3. [ethwire](https://github.com/ethereum/ethwire-go)
2014-01-23 20:14:44 +00:00
4. [ethdb](https://github.com/ethereum/ethdb-go)
5. [ethutil](https://github.com/ethereum/ethutil-go)
The [eth](https://github.com/ethereum/eth-go) is the top-level package
of the Ethereum protocol. It functions as the Ethereum bootstrapping and
peer communication layer. The [ethchain](https://github.com/ethereum/ethchain-go)
contains the Ethereum blockchain, block manager, transaction and
transaction handlers. The [ethwire](https://github.com/ethereum/ethwire-go) contains
the Ethereum [wire protocol](http://wiki.ethereum.org/index.php/Wire_Protocol) which can be used
to hook in to the Ethereum network. [ethutil](https://github.com/ethereum/ethutil-go) contains
utility functions which are not Ethereum specific. The utility package
contains the [patricia trie](http://wiki.ethereum.org/index.php/Patricia_Tree),
[RLP Encoding](http://wiki.ethereum.org/index.php/RLP) and hex encoding
helpers. The [ethdb](https://github.com/ethereum/ethdb-go) package
contains the LevelDB interface and memory DB interface.
This executable is the front-end (currently nothing but a dev console) for
the Ethereum Go implementation.

Deps
====
Ethereum Go makes use of a modified `secp256k1-go` and therefor GMP.

Contribution
============
2014-01-11 14:41:05 +00:00
If you'd like to contribute to Ethereum Go please fork, fix, commit and
send a pull request. Commits who do not comply with the coding standards
are ignored.
Coding standards
================
Sources should be formatted according to the [Go Formatting
Style](http://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html#formatting).
Unless structs fields are supposed to be directly accesible, provide
Getters and hide the fields through Go's exporting facility.
2014-01-16 10:00:56 +00:00
When you comment put meaningfull comments. Describe in detail what you
want to achieve.
2014-01-11 14:41:05 +00:00
*wrong*
```go
// Check if the value at x is greater than y
if x > y {
// It's greater!
}
```

Everyone reading the source probably know what you wanted to achieve
with above code. Those are **not** meaningful comments.
While the project isn't 100% tested I want you to write tests non the
less. I haven't got time to evaluate everyone's code in detail so I
expect you to write tests for me so I don't have to test your code
manually. (If you want to contribute by just writing tests that's fine
too!)
